We began our trip by missing the train to Gatwick, a familiar occurance for us as we have a tendency to be late for everything!

We rushed to get the next train- the travel begins! I then realise Ive forgotten my only jumber, my trousers and all our malaria tablets!! We get to gatwick without any further troubles bar one. There is a lack of places for Robin to get his nicotine fix, and thus he sat in the departure lounge looking longingly at duty free cigarettes.

We decided to visit the perfume section. I liked the smell of one, and then another, and several more until we both had about 457 differnt types of perfume sprayed onto us. Before we boarded the plane you could smell us...we were the most fragrant people in London! This turned out to be a good thing as the plane smelt and had bits falling off!! Will we make it to Russia alive....
